ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION OF THE 5E INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL IN TOPICS RELATED TO THE GEOGRAPHY OF AZERBAIJAN

Abstract. The article discusses the compatibility of the 5E instructional model with the teaching of Azerbaijani geography in the 6th and 7th grades, demonstrating that the stages of the model are consistently reflected in the structure of the textbooks. The analysis shows that the 5E approach enhances students’ observation, analysis, and application skills, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of geographical concepts. Consequently, the model is evaluated as an effective and purposeful methodological framework for teaching topics related to the geography of Azerbaijan.
